“Three hundred shattered windows, forty days and an enemy lady hiding in the stables: the only one who knows glass.”
On the night of Archduke Morvath's coup, southern arrows shattered Oakhaven's three hundred stained-glass windows. The master glazier died in the gallery, and Prince Fadrique puts the rule into the hand of Bruno, the master armorer, who knows iron and nothing of glass: he has forty days, until the April sleet. In the last stall of the stables he finds Doña Brianda de Soria, a lady of the enemy's retinue abandoned by her countess, armed with a shard of cobalt and raised among the glass workshops of Toledo. She knows what he lacks. But Oakhaven has too many dead for anyone to want to work with a southerner, beginning with Ciro, Bruno's apprentice.
“"They told me it had fallen." "It fell. This is another one."”
